Side 4: Track 15 – “Groovin’” – Felix Cavaliere

Dana, Adam, and Joe are incredibly proud to start out Side 4 with a true music legend: one of the founding members of The Young Rascals/Rascals, Felix Cavaliere! Before he changed the course of music history, Felix was a brilliant, classically trained pianist studying pre-med. A chance opportunity to fill in with Joey Dee and the Starlighters completely altered his trajectory—and the music world is forever grateful. Without that twist of fate, 1960s chart-topping feel-good anthems like “Groovin’,” "A Beautiful Morning," and "People Got to Be Free” might never have existed. On this side, we dive deep into the history of The Rascals, uncover some fascinating, lesser-known music history and stories, exploring Felix's lifelong friendships and collaborations with our fathers Tommy, Arif, and Joel.
